Culture and History
One prominent building is the Saint-Pierre church. It is a Romanesque building dating from the 11th century, constructed over the ruins of an earlier Merovingian church. Inside, Saint-Pierre has three eastern bays with ribbed vaults, which doubled the length of the original building.
The Camp de Près-de-Casseron provides evidence of human settlement in Chaunay since the Neolithic period. A considerably more recent religious trace can be found in Rue du Calvaire: the Calvary in Chaunay is a religious monument dating from 1914, with six cast-iron statues arranged around its cross.
